I was feeling kinda crappy the past couple of days. Not enough sleep, probably eating too much. I forced myself to go into town to meet up for the group ride leaving from the bike shop. I am so glad I did it. Really fun ride, really nice people, really nice weather. It was only 31 miles, but we averaged 18mph. I felt so much better when I got done. Really.
Eventually there will be a few more vacation pics posted, but I don't want to take the time now.
All of you who've seen the crapmobile know that it is not the most spacious minivan on the road. Well today TOYH went into town with her sister-in-law Anne to look for antiquey items for The Madster's room re-decoration. You have to understand that whenever we leave for a week's vacation anywhere, the crapmobile is packed so full with our junk that it is not very comfortable travelling. So I get into the van so I can go into town for my bike ride, and there are oars in the van. Rowboat oars. And a lamp. And some other stuff. The Madster wants a northwoods theme to her bedroom, so we're carting this crap back from our vacation. I guess this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for decorations so they must come home. We might have to leave a kid behind.

Was George there? Good for you for going to the group ride! Riding does make everything better!
We can pick the kid up on our way home from North Dakota on Monday. Otherwise, we'll be up in Detroit Lakes later on this month.
BTW, we are picking up Jessie, our exchange student from Taiwan, tomorrow.
Do they ride a bike... if not I might have one!
Who's "they"?
What about biking home?
(Sorry. I have no idea where you are in MN, and even if you told me, I wouldn't know where it is in relation to where you live.)
"they" is everybody in the whole wide world! They should all have bikes! Everyone should ride a bike! Everywhere!
AMEN!!
Francis, I think your suggestion is EXCELLENT. After all, didn't TOM mention that he considered biking TO Alexandria, but the weather changed his mind?
That nice, long (must be 100 miles!) ride will cure TOM of all his ills.
And maybe Neil should ride up there to accompany TOM back!
Amen to that, sistah!!
I would have loved to, why didn't I think of that!?
I mentioned to the fam that I could ride, and there seemed to be great enthusiasm for that. Something to do with my odor in the confined space of the crapmobile. Our neighbors who were up at Mt. Carmel came to the rescue and took some stuff back for us. Not the oars though. They did make it back in the crapmobile. Neil, we could have had an awesome ride back from Alex. Probably would have had a tailwind so you wouldn't have to pull me. On the other hand, I wouldn't be in any condition for the century I'm attempting tomorrow.
